Abstract: Data not stored in the DRAM array (104) of a SDRAM module (100) is read from the SDRAM module (100) in a synchronous data transfer. The data transfer, referred to as register read command/operation, resembles a read command/operation directed to data stored in the DRAM array in timing and operation. The register read command is distinguished by a unique encoding of the SDRAM control signals and bank address bits. In one embodiment, the register read command comprises the same control signal states as a MRS or EMRS command, with the bank address set to a unique value, such as 2'b10. The register read command may read only a single datum, or may utilize the address bus to address a plurality of data not stored in the DRAM array. The register read operation may be a burst read, and the burst length may be defined in a variety of ways.

Abstract: Part of the latency from memory read or write operations is for data to be input to or output from the data latches of the memory via an I/O bus. Methods and circuitry are present for improving performance in non-volatile memory devices by allowing the memory to perform some of these data caching and transfer operations in the background while the memory core is busy with a read operation. A read caching scheme is implemented for memory cells where more than one bit is sensed together, such as sensing all of the n bits of each memory cell of a physical page together. The n-bit physical page of memory cells sensed correspond to n logical binary pages, one for each of the n-bits. Each of the binary logical pages is being output in each cycle, while the multi-bit sensing of the physical page is performed every nth cycles.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un câble en acier, obtenu en torsadant une couche de filaments gainés en acier de distribution inégale autour de multiples filaments d'âme en acier mis ensemble de manière parallèle selon une forme non torsadée, qui permet de renforcer la pénétration du caoutchouc (bonne adhésion du caoutchouc aux filaments d'âme) par l'obtention d'interstices entre les filaments lors de la vulcanisation. Les diamètres des principaux axes transversaux du câble en acier (10) sont supérieurs au plus petit axe transversal principal. Ainsi, lorsqu'un câble en acier est revêtu de caoutchouc (16) et vulcanisé, les interstices (A) sont obtenus entre les filaments gainés (14) individuels même si une tension et une pression (p), provenant du caoutchouc l'entourant, s'exercent sur le câble en acier. Lorsque le caoutchouc (16) pénètre dans les interstices, on obtient une bonne adhésion du caoutchouc (16) aux filaments d'âme (12), ce qui permet de garantir une pénétration élevée du caoutchouc.
